Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze's 1851 painting Washington Crossing the Delaware contains many inaccuracies, including the depiction of Lieutenant James Monroe holding the Stars and Stripe s behind General George Washington. Monroe was part of a small detachment of soldiers that crossed the river ahead of the main army to secure the route of march to Trenton.
